Chapter 60
In the vast sky, the wispy clouds were untainted, and a spirit boat accompanied by a white crane glided through the air.
The spirit boat was about thirty zhang long and nine zhang high, moving on its own without sails. Its body was purple, and the large gold-encrusted character ‘江’ (Jiang) on both sides was particularly eye-catching.
Jiang Chen stood on the deck of the spirit boat with his hands behind his back, his black clothes fluttering in the wind, and his eyes slightly closed, enjoying the breeze.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I saw an idiot!” a shout came from a distance.
“No need to make a fuss over nothing,” Jiang Chen said disdainfully.
“I’ve seen several madmen before, what’s so special about an idiot?”
“This idiot is different.”
As the voice fell, a burly figure with a rugged appearance and a hint of sycophancy on his face approached.
His name is Liu Wen, the younger brother of Liu Wu.
Liu Wen has been very excited recently.Because his brother was sent to serve as a subordinate to Jiang Lianyue, and he took over Liu Wu’s position, becoming the number one subordinate to Jiang Chen!
This is definitely the rhythm of taking off!
“Eldest Senior Brother, that idiot is really stupid! He’s actually building pit latrines with thatched roofs right in the middle of the wide path below! And he’s even repairing them along the way, at least a dozen in total!” Liu Wen laughed.
“Alright, that’s pretty stupid,” Jiang Chen opened his eyes.
After giving Liu Wen a glance, he shook his head slightly.
The elder brother’s name is Liu Wu, yet he has a small and thin build, while the younger brother is named Liu Wen and is tall and burly.
These names are completely the opposite…
(TLN: Wu means martial prowess/military and Wen means literature/culture.)
“Did you get a good look at that idiot’s face?” Jiang Chen asked.
Liu Wen shook his head and smiled, “It was too high up, and the idiot was engrossed in his work, so I couldn’t see clearly. But Eldest Senior Brother, I actually found that idiot’s silhouette somewhat familiar. Isn’t that strange?”
“Maybe it’s your brother. After all, he calls himself a ‘professional’ at making latrine,” Jiang Chen joked.
Upon hearing this, Liu Wen was stunned.
Now that he thought about it, that silhouette did look a bit like Liu Wu!
Before he could continue pondering.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I see Second Senior Brother!” another subordinate shouted.
Lin Mubai?
Jiang Chen was startled and quickly stepped forward to look.
Sure enough.
In the dense forest beside the wide path below, Lin Mubai was standing next to a wooden shed.
His upper body was completely bare, he was holding a machete in each hand and sharpening them vigorously!
Perhaps sensing the movement above, Lin Mubai suddenly looked up, and after recognizing the outline of the spirit boat, he threw the knives on the ground and then waved his hands, jumping and shouting:
“Eldest Senior Brother!!”
Jiang Chen’s expression darkened, and he immediately withdrew his head back into the spirit boat.
“Eldest Senior Brother, aren’t you going down to pick up Second Senior Brother? The peak leader specifically instructed you to bring him back,” Liu Wen wondered.
“Second Senior Brother? What Second Senior Brother?”
Jiang Chen said sternly, “Remember, that’s a wild man!”
Liu Wen was astonished.
He quickly understood what Jiang Chen meant and echoed, “That’s right, a shameless wild man who resorts to sneak attacks and self-harm at the slightest disagreement! I don’t know him at all!”
Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.
He had never imagined!
They were only a hundred li away from the Hengduan Mountain Range and a full six hundred li from the Jiuyan Sect!
Yet Lin Mubai had run madly for six hundred li to get here!
Jiang Lianyue going mad, he didn’t mind much, as he could take advantage of the situation.
But Lin Mubai going mad?
Sorry, he wanted to stay as far away as possible!
Although Xiao Hongyi asked him to bring Lin Mubai back, he didn’t take it to heart.
After all, Lin Mubai had the Innate Dao Bone. He couldn’t possibly stay mad forever. Once he had enough, he would naturally return.
“E-Eldest Senior Brother, that wild man is chasing after us!” Liu Wen suddenly exclaimed in alarm.
What?! Jiang Chen was also startled!
“He seems to be saying something!” Liu Wen added.
“What’s he saying? Use your vital energy and listen carefully.”
“Okay, I’ll listen. He’s saying… ‘Eldest Senior Brother, travel safely’!”
Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched immediately.
Travel safely? Those words sounded like a curse on his life!
Absolutely outrageous!
“Liu Wen! Where’s the thunder spirit cannon on the spirit boat? Bring it here, blast him!” Jiang Chen was angry.
“Ah?” Liu Wen was confused.
The spirit boat they were riding was a sixth-grade spirit boat, which, apart from protective formations, was also equipped with spirit cannons powered by spirit stones.
In the Central Domain, spirit boats of this level are mostly used by sects to transport disciples or move supplies.
However, the Jiang family is wealthy and extravagant, so Jiang Chen simply uses it for personal travel.
Liu Wen was astonished because the Thunder Spirit Cannon on the boat was incredibly powerful!
A hit from it could turn a cultivator from the lower four realms into ash.
Even low-level Core Formation cultivators could resist it, but they would still get injured!
“What are you waiting for? Get moving!” Jiang Chen kicked him to spur him into action.
Liu Wen dared not delay any further and quickly got to work.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Accompanied by the sound of cannon fire, several huge thunderballs were launched from the spirit boat, rapidly bombarding Lin Mubai who was chasing after the boat and forcing him to run away in a panic.
“Haha.”
Now Jiang Chen was at ease.
【Host’s actions conform to the villain’s character setting. Congratulations for advancing from the early stage to the middle stage of Human Origin!】
The moment the system’s message disappeared, a wave of intense heat burst forth from Jiang Chen’s body, making Liu Wen unable to open his eyes.
Liu Wen was full of admiration.
Bullying a Junior Brother even led to a breakthrough!? Truly worthy of being the Ninth Peak’s Eldest Senior Brother!
Suddenly, he stiffened and, pointing at Lin Mubai below, said, “Eldest Senior Brother… he seems to be saying something again!”
“Check again!”
“Alright! He says… ‘Eldest Senior Brother, rather than being bombed, I’d prefer to be beaten up by you!'”
Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched.
He had figured it out. When Lin Mubai went crazy, he was a masochist!
Beating him would only satisfy his peculiar cravings!
“Refill the spirit stones and let’s get out of here! And from now on, keep your distance from this lunatic,” Jiang Chen waved his hand, urging them on.
Soon, the spirit boat picked up speed and disappeared in an instant.
As Lin Mubai watched the spirit boat vanish from sight, he sighed with grief in his heart.
He wanted to travel the world with Eldest Senior Brother again, to experience the bustling splendor of life.
But as soon as Jiang Chen saw him, he would flee.
He really wouldn’t forgive him!
“Lin Mubai?”
A voice of surprise suddenly rang out.
Lin Mubai looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman dressed in a white cloud glaze dress standing in front of him while holding an Ice Jade Cold Sword.
“Jiang Lianyue, why are you here?” he frowned and said.
After speaking, he thought to himself: ‘Nine cycles of reincarnation, this Jiang Lianyue is like an empress guarding the path, very close to Lin Feng. Although she has gone mad, I must still be wary of her!’
“I was about to ask you the same thing,” Jiang Lianyue said with an extremely cold expression.
She also speculated in her heart: ‘Nine cycles of reincarnation, this Lin Mubai is like Lin Feng’s lackey, always trusting him without doubt. Right now, I don’t know if he’s truly mad or faking it, but if he continues like this in this life, I’ll press him and Lin Feng together into the latrine!’
Both had their own thoughts and stared at each other with unfriendly expressions.
But soon, they both scoffed disdainfully and turned to leave.
“Hmph, he really is a madman.”
“Hmph, she really is a madwoman.”
As they turned away, both of them sneered at the same time.
